We do not say thank you to Judges, as shown in TV Court Dramas" when they decide our case #Law #India

The Judges are bound to do their duty of doing Justice.

So we do not say "Thank you, Judge", when a Judge passes an order.

In fact, it is the litigants who are obliged to court, for judging their dispute.

So when order is pronounced, lawyers on both side say "Obliged".
(And not Thank You, as portrayed in TV serials of court scenes).

Even the lawyer who has lost case, is supposed to say "Obliged".

Because he is supposed to say this on behalf of his client.
